It looks quite nice for a scratchbuild!,I always thought it was a kit!
Seeing that it is scratchbuild I do think it has had a bit of a hammering from the others, BUT, the videos and comments are funny though!

I bought it second hand off a mate of PTLRcecils. Its made of resin & originally sat in a resin basin with pump to work the water wheel. I presume it was from a garden centre. Its really too small for 16mm scale but looks fine in the background.

I think it should be in a different colour. What do you think(I know MrB is going to say Dark blue ). I would like to see it in a glossy dark green. If Meldrew looks good in it, surely bluebottle will

Blue would look smart but that's just me! Red does. however, fit bluebottle well.

Good grief, HOW can people like Bluebottle?! It goes so slowly and causes traffic jams which just annoy everyone that is running at the time!

Meldrew is slow but attracted a crowd of kids following it at Llechfan. Will can prove it
